Cover Letter Basics
THE COVER LETTER
Every resume needs a cover letter to introduce the person who is sending that resume. This letter has distinct form and content and should point out the candidate's qualifications and sincere interest in the position. Check out our Cover Letter Guidelines 2007-2008 (PDF) or Cover Letter Guidelines 2007-2008 (Plain Text). If you prefer, a hard copy is available at the Office of Career and Internship Services.
